Who, me? Cory Booker? Dashing mayor by day and occasional superhero by night? Youd like me to comment on the presidents dismal performance in his debate last week? Why, no, I just dont think I could. I really shouldnt. Do you have a permit for arm-twisting, buddy? Ha, just a little mayor humor. Well, all right, if you insist:

Newark Mayor Cory Booker, a top President Obama surrogate, said Thursday he wanted to scream during last weeks debate when Obama did not pounce on Mitt Romneys joke about needing to get a new accountant.

I wanted to scream out, Obama, say, keep your accountant, theyre allowing you to pay only 13 percent in taxes, Booker said. The rest of us should have accountants like that.

Surely sensing Stef Cutter with zip ties at the ready behind him, the famous hostage video star turned the corner, saying the president made the right decision not to attack:

For the past week these guys are still trying for a do-over of last week's K.O. If you fall down (or in this case, get pummeled to the ground), get up and go forward. These guys just want to whine and gripe about what has been done. Losers. They are all an antithesis of the man in Rudyard Kipling's epic poem, 'If'...

Has anyone seen an article telling what percentages other notable people pay?

IIRC, an accountant who looked at both Romney & Obama published tax returns said of Romney’s, “That looks about right, especially considering how much he gives to charity”. “Obama’s shows that he did not make wise choices on his return.”

Anyone remember that or have a link?
